Einstein's theory of special relativity states that movement is only relative to the viewer experiencing it. It is impossible to feel how fast your moving, you only feel the slowing and speeding up of your velocity. Right now we feel like we aren't moving yet the earth rotates, orbits the sun, and our solar system orbits in the Milky Way, ect. IF you were the only matter in the universe, flying through space you would'nt be able to tell you were moving or not. To get to the point, is everything in the Universe in motion? Is it possible to reach an absolute zero in your velocity, and if so could you still exist? Since temperature is the kinetic energy of molecules, and a molecule that reaches absolute zero would theoretically vaporize, could the same apply to a mass with no velocity?
